what is the intraday trading

Intraday trading refers to buying and selling stocks on the same day before the market closes. intraday trading can also be profitable.

intraday trading

Three months back, I prepared an online course, “Trade Like Crazy,” consisting of 10 profitable intraday systems that are backtested against 10-year historical bank nifty data.

Before making it public, I thought it was better to review these systems with a coding specialist who is also a trader.

Hence, I asked one of my friends to review these systems in detail.

After seeing all the systems, he was shocked and said, “Indra, you have shared all the secrets; I suggest not disclosing everything.“

We had a lengthy discussion after that, and I convinced him about my plans.

Even if I share an excellent profitable intraday trading system (I have already done it), many people will not be convinced of its logic or result.

Because they have a different thought process in their mind, the only way to get rid of that process is by backtesting the system (which I have shared) with the historical data in intraday trading.

Intraday trading means

But most people are lazy enough to do the work, and hence they will not be able to follow the system in intraday trading.

Some people might have the same ideas compared to my system. But they would have watched other methods in a YouTube video or read about some strategies in a book. These people face a tough time shortlisting the systems, and hence they will not be able to follow my system as it is in intraday trading.

Very few people will understand the importance and work behind a system, and they are determined to implement the system as it is. These people will be rewarded in the long run.

Sharing of Intraday Trading Strategy

So, I don’t hide any secrets, and I have shared all the profitable day trading systems

However, that doesn’t mean all successful day traders share their secrets. I know many successful day traders who are not even ready for a casual discussion.

Besides, there are a few traders who trade some systems but teach some other concepts. I don’t know the exact reason (as they have not shared).

A trading system will indeed lose its edge if many traders start using the same (ex – 9.20 straddle and strangle in India). But with fine-tuning, anyone can make it profitable again, or a real trader will easily re-invest in another profitable system with ease.

Is Intraday Trading Profitable

It may not be at first, but with a good deal of patience and research, it can be. Never wait to generate huge profits in just a single trade

What are the best ways to make consistent profit intraday?

What should I know before trying intraday trading?

• Never ever take markets for granted, This means suppose you are taking a target of making some 10k every day with your 10lacs capital. Initially, if you even get this done for yourself, Don’t make it in mind that Markets are your slave and you will daily make it out of markets. This is one of those mistakes, Which are commonly committed by day traders and they end up blowing up their trading accounts.
• The mistake that many traders make is, They start as Intraday traders, But if they get stuck in a position, They soon become either swing traders or an investor. Never do that, Always decide before entering a trade. If the trade is decided to be intraday at the time of placing it, It should always be intraday one with strict disciplinary action implied in it.
• Never ever take leveraged positions, It means if you have 10lacs in your account, Don’t go for trading with 20lacs in equity, Over trading usually results in losses at the end. Believe me, I am saying this out of my personal experience. However, Leverage taken to sell options intraday is an exception to the point made.
• Always stick to your strategy, Don’t just change it daily. Change your strategy and attitude if you are not successful over a period of time.
• For being A successful intraday trader, One needs to be super active during market hours, If you trading in your part-time business, My advice is please don’t indulge in this business. This trading business demands 100% loyalty like women, If you cannot be 100% loyal to them, Better stay away.
• Let me tell you, Stock markets are an inhuman business Because one will only make money if another is losing money. So To make another trade and lose money, You need to be the Best among the crowd.
• Just learn to cut losses on time, I can assure you this, no one can stop you from minting money in stock markets by trading. Losses are like Cancer my friend, Dat should be excreted out of your system as soon as possible before it becomes Deadly for a trader.
• Respect price, Respect screen, Respect your business, and fruits will soon come out in tons. If the price of a stock is quoted at ₹200, Believe it, that is the reality, Don’t go and argue with it ever.

This is very much achievable my friend, All one need is to respect markets as we do to our parents, Listen to what markets are saying, Rather than make the markets listen to what we believe.

1% of traders will always be successful in trading, So you cannot expect a positive reply from 100% of traders for trading.

Use stop losses effectively

A stop loss is an automated order that lets a trader sell or buys a stock when it touches a set price. It stops the trader from being overwhelmed under multiple open trading options. It also wards off severe loss.

When you are buying stock, a stop loss order should have a trigger price set just below the latest price bar low. Even if the price plunges below it, you will be able to exit without incurring a huge loss. When you are short selling, the stop loss order should have a trigger price just above the recent price bar high.

Keep a realistic risk-to-reward ratio

Don’t gamble with your wealth. As a rule, the acceptable risk-to-reward ratio is 3:1. Keep to this rule so that you do not get carried away and incur huge losses.

Opensea NFT Marketplace

Multicoin Capital analysts have come up with curious thoughts on the market, they’re definitely worth sharing. So, you’ve seen ‘regular’ NFT marketplaces like OpenSea or Magic Eden, right? The thing is, they generally share the same set of tools (discovery on homepage, same search presentation, etc.), they look and function the same way.

In 2018, when OpenSea was founded, it was okay. After all, NFT collections back then came down to PFP, and their only value was in the mere concept of digital art

Today, things are different. NFT collections are for and about different communities, that’s why marketplaces should map to the unique characteristics of communities and optimize around the type of content they host.

Verticalization of NFT marketplaces is inevitable. Accordingly, they will become community-owned and will integrate many non-commerce functions (e.g., live streaming, chat, forums, etc.). For instance, Grape Network has recently launched the first DAO-owned NFT exchange.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

• Royalties and trading fees will flow back to the community treasury instead of 3d party marketplaces

• The marketplaces will provide more than being just a financial intermediary, they’ll give additional value to the community (e.g., live streaming, chat, forums, etc.)

• Exponential decline of fake and fraudulent NFTs

Niching down is really good for marketplaces and communities

Ethereum Merge has been delayed a couple of times now. Finally, we’re supposed to see it in August this year. At least Tim Beiko, Ethereum developer coordinator, says that the probability of another delay THIS TIME is between 1%-10%. The last hope of ETH miners to stay afloat is slowly fading away.

The Merge, a big upgrade to the network that will introduce a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism instead of proof-of-work that requires mining, can reduce Ethereum’s energy consumption by about 99%.

For miners, this is devastating, since a lot of them have spent about $15 billion on graphics processing units (GPUs) alone, not to mention additional costs, such as electricity bills, etc.

If the legendary Merge happens, ETH miners will be left with no choice but to choose a new cryptocurrency for mining. Monero, Ravencoin and Ethereum Classic are the most popular choice so far

Is Day Trading Worth It?

For 99% of people who try to make it a career, the answer is NO. For the few that figure it out, it’s a great career.

What is Day Trading? Is Day Trading Worth It?

Day Trading is where you buy and sell over a single day’s trading with the intention of profiting from small price movements.

These traders like picking a side at the beginning of the day, acting on their bias, and finishing the day with either a profit or a loss.

They don’t like holding their trades overnight.

Is suited for forex traders that have enough time throughout the day to analyze, execute and monitor a trade.

Is Day Trading Worth It?

I have been at this a long time, have walked through the valley of death, and know what it takes to be successful, and I can tell you who is full of shit and who isn’t by what people post on these forums.

Most of what you read is from day traders who are not making money. At best they are breaking even, but more than likely their account is slowly dwindling away month after month.

They stay in the game because they win about as much as they lose, but are not profitable. The commissions are slowly eating away at their account, and they are frustrated because they believe they are good at this, but their P&L does not reflect this. They have convinced themselves they are really close to turning a profit, but it never happens.

When they finally throw in the towel, they will post things like… day trading does not work, nobody is making money, if you day trade you will lose money, the system is rigged against you, etc. Those that don’t throw in the towel should post things about how simple it is, you buy here and sell here, and you do this and do that, and here is how I am making money. When they tell you how they are making money, that is when your BS meter should go up. Nobody ever wants to talk about losing money or losing trades, just the winners. The guy in the chat is always talking about the winners, but never the losers. When I talk to people about trading, we never talk about winners, just the losers. Is Day Trading Worth It?

Is Day Trading Worth It?

There are a whole bunch of reasons why people are unsuccessful in day trading, and can’t make this a career, but the biggest hurdle is you. Trading comes down to you making decisions. The way you make decisions, your thought process, and how your mind works under stress, all influence how you trade. As humans we are all hardwired the same way, have been taught the same things, and react to certain things the same way. If you were in a shopping mall and heard gunshots, what would most people do? They would run. They would run away from the gunshot sound. Others would take cover. How many would do nothing? Almost nobody would do nothing, because we equate gunfire with being shot and possibly killed, so doing nothing is crazy.

Psychological Part of Day Trading

When you are trading, and the price goes against you, you are going to react like the 99%. Just like those that ran or took cover when they heard gunshots. You are going to react and make decisions, predictable decisions, just like the 99%. The market understands this human behavior and trades against the expected behavior. You will never be successful, and being able to think about day trading as a career, until you change behaviors, is very hard to change.

I go into every trade expecting to lose. You go into every trade expecting to win and have already calculated how much you expect to profit, and what you are going to buy with your profits. Different mindset.

Emotions in Trading

I am okay with losing 50% of my trades if I am trading according to my plan. You are not okay with a single loss and the idea of losing is painful. Again different mindset.

If I am winning too much, I see it as a bad thing. You see it as you are an incredible trader, and you are the shit!. I see it as me getting out of winning trades too early. You are focused on your win/loss ratio. I don’t care about the win/loss ratio, because it does not mean anything to me. Different mindset

I only know how much I am willing to lose on a given trade. You only know how much you plan to win on a given trade. Different mindset.

I have outlined a few characteristics of how a successful trader thinks vs an unsuccessful trader. Be honest and ask yourself which one are you.

Is Day Trading Worth It?

Day trading can be an incredible career but you have to know what you are doing, and have to be humble and respect the market…and most of all protect your capital at all costs.
